Welcome to the disease, it's futile to resist ! My first tactical MV was a M151 courtesy of Uncle for a mandatory week.. Then an early M35A2 (downspout) for three days and then on to the M51, M52, M818, and M123 until finishing heavy motor transport school .. We never touched the M715 nor M880...

The only time i ever had the ether-assist "but afterwards ran perfect" situation was with the M109A3 when i went to get it at the DRMO .. Discovered the fuel pump fuse blown, pump inop, then sticky and slow upon fuse change.. Fixed that and has been starting normal for 15 years now.. I know...

be careful, that stubborn plug can cause a cracked HH .. it will come out, but as you are finding out it can be overly difficult for its size. .. much like my ex-wife

i worked with a fella who had been on that cruise line from 1971-73 .. One day during lunch i asked about his port-to-port adventures , expecting elaborate embellished stories about the women of singapore, danang, saigon, greece, san fran etc .. He looked disappointed and said they hardly went...

new or old, it should be run out and inspected periodically for wear, flat spots, twist/kinks, frays , etc .. Include the boom, rollers, pins, hoses/pipes, etc with your inspection .. The TM's are your guide to the time-tested PMCS procedure and operation

Yep the pockets are there for it as well as on a M49C/M50C , to disguise them as lesser targets to air and ground OPFOR .... In all my 30-some years combined service as a 64C10/20, next the subsequent 88M20/30, and then the years spent with the State Guard filling in for the State's deployed...

Welcome to the disease from 60 road-miles northeast of you .. nice clean truck ! The closest I ever got to your area while in any part of the military was an 18-hour day with a M54A1 and M105 trailer to/from the airlift group in Schenectady to pick up duffles and field equipment of the...

It's a regular 2-1/2T M35 cargo truck cover and bows.. Is a very tight fit length-wise and you have to stretch it a bit and there's a bit of inward lean on the rear bow (if in the rearmost pocket) unless you have a Soldier B or C to help pull the cover really tight as you work it back, but it...

ha ! At first I was gonna make a play off the "doctor" thing , until I saw your updated comment ;)

Two of my deuces were taken to the vet and put to sleep :sneaky: (just for the winter)

Only the 5-ton M39-series and M809-series make air noises when shifting the tranny

was surprisingly warm in the sun today, a perfect day for last-minute winter prep of the M62 .. Has it's ski mask on, fuel topped off, tire chains in a pile on pass side floor, winter mittens, jacket, and hat on the stack ;) .. PS: for those who noticed, yes those are M809-series fender...

I get those same surprises every week in the shop when I check the 5gal pail that purposely has 4 inches of WMO in it this time of year :LOL:

40 years ago after my active army stint, i was hauling fuels.. In winter we would do our mix while filling directly into the trucks and trailers at the tank farm .. It was an easy formula to remember.. 90% diesel (or FO) to a 10% kero mix lowers the gel point by about 4 to 5 degrees, which...

while searching last month for M809-series glow plugs I came across several for M002/003 on fleabay , prices were anywhere from $50 to $175ea

I am down to one spare '75-80 dash pad as well but it's light blue and obviously will have to paint it before it goes into my M880.. Funny story, was out plowing snow last winter and the cat decided to come along.. Being fidgity he got up on the old cracked dash above the speedo, laid down, and...
